Space Day: Long A

Over the last several weeks we have been learning about space in both ELA and Science. We have also been learning more about long vowels. To help the students make connections and help them remember the long /a/ sound, we had "Space Day." The students were asked to wear black to school. They then made yellow starts and wrote various long /a/ words on the stars. They glued the stars to headbands and taped the extras to their shirts. They then practiced reading the words with their table groups.
